Book Synopsis Fort Duquesne and Fort Pitt; Early Names of Pittsburgh Streets by : Daughters of the American Revolution. Pittsburgh Chapter
Book excerpt: The following work covers the history of Fort Duquesne and Fort Pitt. Fort Duquesne was a fort established by the French, at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers. It was later taken over by the British, and later the Americans, and developed as Pittsburgh in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. Fort Duquesne was destroyed by the French, prior to British conquest during the Seven Years' War, known as the French and Indian War on the North American front. The British replaced it, building Fort Pitt during the French and Indian War.
